News Desk: While Pakistani leaders continue to issue nuclear threats and boast about retaliation, reality paints a very different picture. A recent report reveals that Pakistan’s military stockpile can sustain only four days (96 hours) of full-scale war, after which its defence capabilities would collapse completely.
The backdrop is critical: following the Pahalgam terrorist attack that killed 26 civilians, Indo-Pak tensions have soared to unprecedented levels. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has warned of strong retaliation, and the revocation of the Indus Waters Treaty signals that India means business.
🔫 Ammunition Crisis: Just 4 Days of Combat Supplies
According to sources, Pakistan is staring at a severe shortage of key military ammunition, particularly 155mm artillery shells, M109 Howitzer rounds, and BM-21 rocket system munitions. The country’s Pakistan Ordnance Factory (POF) lacks the production capacity to meet demand during wartime.
The report further suggests that weapons exports to Ukraine, especially artillery rounds, have drained Pakistan’s own reserves, leaving the army dangerously under-equipped for prolonged conflict.
💣 Economy in Shambles, Military Drills Suspended
Amid crippling economic inflation, soaring debt, fuel shortages, and a plunging rupee, Pakistan had even suspended military training exercises in the past due to lack of funds, sources claim.
Former Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa had earlier warned that war under these conditions would lead to devastating outcomes for the country.
☢️ Empty Threats: Pakistan Talks Nukes, Seeks International Mediation
Despite the severe limitations, Pakistan continues to issue nuclear threats against India, likely in an effort to deter military retaliation. The Shahbaz Sharif government has also approached the United States and other international powers, urging them to mediate and prevent escalation.
🔥 The Pahalgam Attack: Catalyst for Crisis
On November 22, 26 people were killed in a terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir’s Pahalgam region. Investigations by the NIA have revealed that the attack was carried out by Lashkar-e-Taiba, with direct coordination from the Pakistani Army and ISI.
In response, India has begun diplomatic and military preparations, starting with the termination of the Indus Water Treaty, a move widely seen as the first step toward a larger confrontation.
